This is horrifying. I know abuse of power is nothing new, especially in education and law enforcement, but people find new lows every day it seems. I’m glad others were there to step up and help.

It sounds like the individual responsible, Palm Grove Elementary School Principal Myrta Garza could still be a threat to additional students though. I know it’s Texas but there has to be some group there that can investigate this individual.
